People who reach out when the going is tough have my deepest respect. I love my work and feel privileged to be present with people during their significant life transitions. I work with people to discover what they are doing right and expand on those things, rather than focusing on problems or what an individual may have done "wrong". I work to help a person "live" again rather than continue the pattern of their chronic depression or anxiety. A client who elects to go through the process of therapy is a person of courage who is committed to change.

I provide counseling and mediation services. My passion is to help every individual understand and conquer their challenges, achieve their desired goals, and live a life of wellness. I value spirituality and demonstrate a solid commitment to Christian principles.

I have been working for over 20 years as a therapist and utilize the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle for change- this remains the bedrock of my work. As a result, if the client does not feel we are the right fit on the first session I do not charge the client for the initial visit. I feel it is important for my clients to determine if I am the right fit for them.
